Hi Fatboy I should be there on Saturday ........FC427........
i will be there all day (wednesday though to sunday) as im working there)
Joe's yellow and white "MR FC" sedan (http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,13619.msg83525.html#msg83525) will also be there.
I spent the last week getting MR FC ready for Summer Nat's did all the little jobs I never got done when I built it ....let me know what you think of my handy work if you get the chance to check it out.......FC427........
Saw Mr FC in the flesh, and let me tell you, 'what a machine'.
Voted for him in the 'peoples choice award'. A very nice car indeed.
But missed him cruising around in the super cruise.
Not many FC's or FE's out there. Where are they all???
Regards
Janette
I know where 1 FC is in Canberra! Better make that 2 FC's otherwise I'll be accused of favoritism! :D

LOVED THE FE HOLDEN UTE IN MAIN ARENA CHOPPED LOL WILL HAVE PICS UP SOON JUST GOT HOME NEED SHOWER NOW HEHEH
id just like to say sorry to joe as it was me that stopped his son and made him park it due to wrong coloured arm bands
i counted a total of 5 fe/fc there including both of those sweet chopped Ute's gives me something to aspirer to
just seen the news and they were very disappointed with the crowd numbers 12,000 down on last year talking about moving the event or not holding it at all i haven't been before but it is something i want to do
Cheers damo58
i made the top 60 in real street in my ek ute and got selected to do the supercruise as well.I didnt bother staying saturday night drove the ute on to the trailer then headed for home 200 am in the morning i finally got to bed.When we left epic we where pulled over by the coppers for a vehicle inspection. The guys loved the ute and sent us on our way.Overall this year was very quiet ive been to 21 of 22 crowds where down heaps .Still had a ball cruising tho 2.5 hrs straight on the friday as well as saturday
regards fatboy

12,000 down on last year
That would have been 12,000 car enthusiasts not the drunken idiots I suspect, but I am sure Chic made a pretty penny from his cut of the alcohol sales ::)

G'day Fatboy, good to meet up. Thought the Nats was a calmer experience this year with the numbers being down by 12k, had less idiot factor and more room to move.
We came away with a 1st in Top Open Hot Rod.
Cheers Paul
MR FC made the top 20 in Elite Judged and won 1st place for best Retro ......FC427.......
not that it's not a good car but the quality of cars wasn't that high, to get in the top 60 there were only 65 cars contending and i know atleast 2 of those cars were brought in from other categories 1 from street and another from tough street, it really was a pretty sad showing most of the cars were in there last year

Do you have to work at being such a plonker, or does it just come naturally to you?
Best Retro is a goddamn awesome achievement, no matter how much you want to cheapen it. How'd your car go? Yeah, that's what I thought. All hat and no cattle. ::)
Congratulations Joe and Mark, that's a fantastic result.
Mark, that's an awesome result, you gotta be happy with that.
Congratulations,
Dean.

yor such a wank stain ::) i've been going 21 years make that 22 but this year only a spectater so i think that i have an idea that the quality of cars was down, didn't say there was anything wrong with this car, my car was not in there never have been never tried and never will, i enjoy driving my cars proven with my 4 top cruiser trophies not washing and polishing all weekend
don't woory soon yor forum will be as you want it full of restorer fuddy duddies......goose
ratbox, your original comment belittled a great effort from a guy who has put a lot of time into preparing a car for this event. Your latest comment is way to emotional and offensive in the extreme.
This forum is for restorers and modifiers, but not for those who cannot show respect to others.

Yeah well, I think we can leave it there guys, it's only going to go downhill from here.
For the record, based on the National's Entries it's almost down the line for Restored vs Modified, both Admins on here have Modifieds and most of the Mods have (or had) Modifieds.
